A brief description is given of the C-program ROD with which surface struct
ures can be refined on the basis of X-ray data. All main features one encou
nters on surfaces, like roughness, relaxations, reconstructions and multipl
e domains, are taken into account. The program has proven to be a useful to
ol over the past ten years. (C) 2000 International Union of Crystallography
